I'm almost a Muggle

Jiang Huateng is a second-generation director, but he does not rely on his parents. It has been fifteen years since he first directed in 1995.

In 2009, he won the Magnolia Award for Best Director and officially entered the ranks of first-line directors.

His new film has attracted much attention from the beginning.

Many people can't understand why he would make such a small-budget, small-cast, fresh and artistic film.

It's a pity that Jiang Huateng's specialty is that he doesn't give reporters face.

Unless he wants to speak to reporters, he will never accept an interview.

Today is the grand opening ceremony of the movie. The leading actors and production team were all present, and several representatives from the producer also came.

Lin Dong was introduced as the producer and met several leading actors.

Zhang Wen, the male one, and Bai He, the female one, both remained reserved in front of reporters and did not pay much attention to young people like Lin Dong.

Lin Dong also had no intention of currying favor.

He just thought Zhang Wen looked a bit like his teacher Huang Sanshi.

Just as Asians see Europeans and Americans alike, in fact, Lin Dong can't tell the difference between people around him.

Invisibly, I added an attribute of mild face blindness to myself.

Lin Dong sat next to actor Wei Zhongwan.

Originally, Liu Mingyi wanted him to sit next to a beautiful actress named Zhang Zixuan, but he refused.

The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger. If you see one, you must run away.

Wei Zhongwan is a national first-class actor.

He is one of the few veteran actors Lin Dong knows.

Lin Dong just watched one of his movies "Sanmao Joins the Army" the other day and admired his acting skills very much.

Compared with the image in the movie, he is much older now.

"Hello, Teacher Wei." Lin Dong extended his hand.

"Hello!" Wei Zhongwan didn't show any airs.

He doesn't have any pretensions to begin with, not to mention that when producer Liu Mingyi introduced him just now, he said that this person is one of the producers.

"I have seen your work and admire it very much. I will definitely ask for advice if I have the opportunity."

Lin Dong is studying acting recently, so asking for advice is really not polite.

He didn't know how to beat around the bush, and he didn't know if his request would be too abrupt.

Many foreign devils are like this.

Lin Dong is now a domestic leather person, but his personality still belongs to Kleist.

Wei Zhongwan was a little confused, but nodded politely.

"OK."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dong immediately took out his cell phone.

"You sweep me, or shall I sweep you?"

Playing for real?

Wei Zhongwan was confused when Lin Dong scanned his WeChat account.

Fortunately, he has kept up with the times, and at least he still has WeChat.

"I'm from Nortel, and I'm studying acting now." Lin Dong at least knew how to explain.

Wei Zhongwan was suddenly stunned.

But he began to worry about whether Lin Dong was going to become a disciple.

He didn't even know Lin Dong or his character, so he would never accept his offer to become a disciple.

Old-school people value inheritance more.

However, the wizarding world is not popular, so Lin Dong has no such idea.

Of course, if he gets familiar with the Muggle world and then watches the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he might really get the idea of ​​becoming a disciple.

For the role of Sima Yi, there is no one who can match him after Wei Lao.

The two people who had become friends were chatting happily, which made Zhang Jianze next to him a little jealous.

"Junior brother, which level is Nortel? I am 87."

"Senior brother, I am level 09."

Lin Dong had met several senior fellow apprentices, and he immediately stood in awe of this middle-aged man with an upright appearance.

Unexpectedly, one of the supporting characters is actually our senior brother from Nortel.

Now another one has been added to the WeChat friends list.

In fact, Zhang Jianze and Jiang Huateng have collaborated many times, and they usually do not refuse to take roles in small supporting roles. It is completely normal to come to support them.

"Aren't you the producer?"

Since he was a junior, Zhang Jianze asked directly what was on his mind.

"Yes, Zhen Xiaolong is a 07-level senior. I happened to have some pocket money, so I invested it in movies. In fact, I invested very little."

Pocket money?

Then your pocket money is not as large as usual.

This movie has a total of three investors, the other two are Perfect and the other is New, both of whom are industry giants.

"Junior brother has a unique vision. This investment will definitely make a lot of money."

"Oh, it's hard to describe in words!"

I can't even speak without tears of sadness.

Lin Dong was deceived by "Love Lost".

But the people I met today are pretty good.

They were chatting happily, and the reporters over there were almost ready.

Jiang Huateng announced that the power-on ceremony was about to begin.

After a lot of twists and turns, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions, first about the director, screenwriter and the movie itself, then about the leading actors and the actors present today.

Lin Dong didn't expect that the topic would come to him while he was talking.

A reporter whose microphone was labeled Soulang asked: "Mr. Lin Dong, what role did you play in the play?"

There was a playing card in front of Lin Dong, so the reporter's question was very targeted.

He was stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't act in this, I am the producer."

What a waste it would be to not act if you look so good.

Although he didn't say it directly, the reporters' eyes expressed what they meant.

Later, the problem became more and more acute.

Of course it's not directed at Lin Dong.

Producers usually provide money and effort, so who knows what this guy’s background is.

The main focus is on box office issues.

"Director Jiang, what do you think of the box office performance of this drama?"

It's so direct, whichever pot is not opened will be picked up.

Fortunately, Jiang Huateng had anticipated this problem and said calmly and calmly: "I am very confident in the box office. From the script to the actors, we have done our best."

Of course, journalists from Tomato.com cannot accept such clichés.

"Someone once estimated that your show would only have a box office of 2 million. Do you think this is possible?"

Jiang Huateng's face suddenly turned ugly.

Zhen Xiaolong didn't have a seat on the press stage, so he had his anus tightened behind the scenes.

How did these complaints reach the ears of reporters?

"I don't think so..." Jiang Huateng handled the accident carefully.

But he was angry in his heart, and the polite smile on his face was a bit unbearable.

"Two million...I bet the box office of this show will be at least 200 million!"

He couldn't tell what the emotion was, but the grievance he felt at that moment made Lin Dong couldn't help but quarrel with him, and he almost swore.

There was silence.

It's a bit exaggerated to hear a needle drop, but many people actually heard the heavy breathing of their colleagues around them.

ACCIDENT?

disaster?

Accident or planned?

Jiang Huateng resisted the urge to turn his head away. He smiled and started to applaud.

Everyone on the press stage didn't know why, but they still continued to applaud, but it was sparse and delayed, which sounded quite embarrassing.

"That's right!" Production Director Liu Mingyi also understood and began to smooth things over. He said with a smile: "Our crew is full of confidence from top to bottom, from inside to outside. Even if it's 200 million, it won't matter if we lose one ticket.

"

It's almost a joke to say this.

However, if it is so easy to be deceived, a reporter would no longer be a reporter.

"Mr. Lin Dong, as one of the producers, why are you so confident in the movie?"

"I..." What could Lin Dong say?

I actually already know this. The box office revenue of this movie alone is 350 million, not counting various derivative benefits such as network platform licensing.

People will think him a fool.

Neuropathy.

When the prophecy comes true in the future, he will not be worshiped by everyone.

They will only be caught as guinea pigs.

The reporters were reluctant and the production team didn't know how to rescue Lin Dong.
